first project: Dumb Friends League

The girls wanted to work with and learn about our local animal shelter.  We first spent out meeting time making cat toys.  The girls made little mice, stuffed them with cotton, a bell (no catnip, per their request) and then topped them off with strings and feathers.  They were so cute.  When I brought them home, our cat Cheeto drug them out of the bag and approved of them.

Then after we had the toys made and we rounded up some supplies that they were in need of we were able to go donate all the items and take a class and a tour.  The girls in our troop are amazing.  It was a great outing to start the year.
